A Better Tomorrow #2: Dude Fest Mania

Jess always comes back from Indiana’s annual Dude Fest with the darnedest pictures. Last year it was this lovely latrine. This year it was the above photo. It is of Hewhocorrupts, though it looks like an outtake from Will Ferrell’s Old School. That’s what Dude Fest seems like to me: a festival of Frank the Tanks soundtracked by entire days of grindcore. Jess’ second podcast does nothing to dispel this notion. In it she interviews Avi Kulawy, vocalist of Magrudergrind (reviewed here) and Derek Black, Dude Fest’s organizer. She also presents her impressions of the festival and plays some rather bracing grindcore.
